We have a name

With further talking to cousins, we finally have a name which the youngest daughter of Constantinus John had written on a piece of paper found in her belongings when the house was cleared. IT IS ROSSOLIMO. We explored this more than a decade ago and found no proof but this takes us a step closer even if, without knowing where Sylvia got the name, or why she wrote it down. But write it down she did and it is a bit out of the norm for Greek names, most of which Australians would assume ended with TOPOLOUS. So, now to find a Greek researcher to see if we can find a Constantinus married to a Georgina or Anastasia, given Greek naming traditions gives the name of the paternal grandfather to the first-born son and the name of the paternal grandmother to the first born daughter. Work on the book continues and I will update the ROSSOLIMO research as we gather more information.

Just to update

At this point there is no new information but I am turning the blog into a book which when published will be available. If any family member has information they think should be recorded, please let me know.
